Colby Corino gives health update, explains why he re-signed with NWA
Colby Corino has unfinished business with the NWA.
In an interview with Sean Ross Sapp, Corino explained why he chose to remain in the NWA as opposed to exploring free agency.
“So as we went, we were able to talk and come to an agreement that works with everybody. Honestly, I just feel like my work in NWA isn’t done,” he explained. “I still have way more to do, there’s more for me to do on the indies and there’s more for me to do with my wrestling school and the promotion I help run. I just don’t feel done yet. The NWA gives me a place that I’m able to grow or with the, with the people around me and also be able to support my family.”
Corino is currently out of action after undergoing emergency neck and back surgery in July. He now days he feels better and is making good headway towards recovery.
“Every day it gets a little bit better. I’ve been trying to go back to the gym. I’m still not 100% full strength yet, but I’m not limited from doing anything in the gym. I could do all the exercises that I did before. So we’re making good steps,” he said.
While there’s no timetable for his return, he’s hopeful that he’ll be able to wrestle sometime this year.
“I am on track healing and I surely need a little bit more time,” he said. “If everything goes well and everything heals the way it has been. But I think I can definitely say you’ll see Colby Corino, wrestling a match in 2026.”
Corino has found success in the NWA since returning to the promotion in 2023, winning the NWA Junior Heavyweight title that year.
